The condo, 41D, is just one of two in the building to offer a terrace along Central Park. The other sold to hedge funder Bill Ackman in 2015 for $91.5 million.

Prices continue to drop at One57, with yet another hyper-luxury condo selling at a steep discount. An LLC called "Escape From New York" tried flipping a condo for $39 million, but may have ended up selling it at a huge loss.
The priciest sale to close in NYC this week is a $21.5M sponsor unit at "Billionaire Building" One57. The apartment sold at a steep discount, but the buyer(s) don't seem too concerned with funds: they also own the sprawling apartment next door.

As Manhattan real estate continues to break historic sales numbers, top brokers are anxious about a growing crisis in constructing housing for non-billionaires. There are plenty of "over-priced" luxury homes, but that’s not what is needed.

This four-bedroom apartment at One57 is asking $120,000/month, making it among New York City's priciest rentals. Its owner is anonymous, but the unit has ties to a prominent international family. Check it out.
An impropriety unfolding in Malaysia may involve NYC's billion dollar building. A long chain of sneaky transactions suggests that One57 may have been financed with money touched by scandal.
